Yeah I've mostly been concentrating on getting my modelling skills down, figuring out the best ways of lighting scenes and texturing models are next on the list.
I did only start learning the app 3 and a half weeks ago after all
Funny you should mention an X-Wing as well, I had a crack at making one of them too, but it turned out crappy. Once I get hold of a reference model, ie some micro machines or die-cast stuff, I'm gonna give it another go.
